I have had another kid before but this pregnancy is different and I am at the end of my pregnancy and have been experiencing in the last few day really bad lower back pain but also my hips have been hurting real bad. Its this normal? My doctors office is only open a couple times a week.

It is normal. Your bones are shifting. Once you have a child you "break" your pelvis. When you have more kids, the weight towards the end of pregnancy starts separating those bones again.
Here are a couple of things to do that will help.
Long soaks in warm bath tubs.
this one sounds weird, but it works get a tube of fuzzy tennis balls. Have your husband/bf/father of the baby massage your lower back with the fuzzy tennis balls. I don't knwo why it works, but our ob/gyn recommended it for my wife and me during each of her pregnancies (3 of them) and it works wonders.

Sweetie, I have pain on my butt and hips and lower back, plus my legs hurt and I have pressure. I never thought it was possible to have pains on your butt but apparently it is! It is normal, this is my 3rd pregnancy, one baby died and my daughter is 6 and I am now 32 weeks pregnant. Every pregnancy is totally different, I never had pains like that with my daughter, and even less with the first. Brace yourself because the more far along you are, the more uncomfortable you will be. Keep you feet elevated when possible and try not to stand or sit for long periods of time. Do walk, it is healthy but don't overdue it.

Sometimes women experience what they describe as "back labor" with much of the pain concentrated in the lower back. Hopefully your pain will be rewarded with an easy labor when the actual birth day arrives. Maybe your hips are just preparing your pelvic region to give birth. At any rate, describe your symptoms the very next visit to your doctor! I have a feeling your baby will come very soon! Kind wishes to you both...

yes it is normal. Most likely you will be having "back labor" once you go in labor. That is wahat I had with both of mine. It is just where the labor pains are in your lower back then in the lower stomach. BUt they could be in a little of both. If this is so, make sure you have someone in the room with you to rub you back during each contraction. Back labor hurts like crazy, but then again so does front.
Don't worry everything will be fine.

Yes, it is normal, you have alot of extra weight on that area, and your hips loosen up to allow the baby through. I felt like I couldn't walk toward the end.

It sounds like the baby "dropped" which is completly normal. It pretty much means that the baby is locked and loaded :) Youre about to have your baby in your arms :) Best Wishes!
